Flood Drainage Management Scrutiny Committee Cost

Request

Q1) Please provide the cost to LCC for each of the Flood & Drainage Management Scrutiny Committee since December 2022 together with the cost to LCC for each of the Environment Committee also from December 2022.

Decision

 Between December 2022 and May 2025 there were 9 meetings of the Flood and Water Management Scrutiny Committee.  The Environment Committee was not in existence until May 2025, and one meeting was held in June 2025. I can therefore assume your question is related to the Environment and Economy Committee - which met 18 times during this timeframe before it was disestablished in May 2025.

 

I'm unable to provide an exact cost of these meetings to Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) without parameters of the particular costs that you wish to be included in a calculation, and the exact Committees, Sub-Committee or Working Groups you wish to examine, as some of the data is held and some of it will not be.  The cost of the operation of one committee meeting is arguably comparable to the cost of other committee meetings in most scenarios.
